What Are the Signs of Birds Infestation?

Given that birds are not precisely cunning animals, infestations are typically detected by an increase in the number of adult birds, frequent chirping or other noises, the presence of nests, and an increase in the number of droppings in your yard. You might hear the sound of landing or settling on the roof during an infestation since they can be very loud.

How Worried Should You Be About Birds At Your Property?

Pest birds can spread diseases to people and livestock by carrying parasites like mites, fleas, and ticks. For example, the fungi that cause the diseases histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, which are particularly harmful to those with weakened immune systems, are frequently found in pigeon poo.

Numerous species can cause damage to structures and machinery and are quite noisy. Pest bird droppings can attach to structures and potentially erode their structure, in addition to being unattractive.

By establishing nests in small cracks, drains, and gutters of structures, they can also cause drainage problems and fire concerns. Additionally, many species are hostile to people or other bird species.

However, dealing with pest birds can be challenging because the Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects certain species from capture and relocation procedures. The Fish & Wildlife Act must be followed when attempting to get rid of a pest bird.

Although netting, noise devices, spike strips, and visual fright techniques may be effective alternatives, only a professional, certified pest control company can adhere to the legal requirements for removing or keeping away pest birds. Therefore, if you have an infestation, you should seek professional bird removal in Toronto and the GTA for the best results. With professional help, you won’t violate regulations.
